Registration

Register from June 16 through June 20
at the Salmon Public Library. Have
your child determine how many books or minutes he or she will read during the
program and sign a contract with the librarian for that amount. Children will receive a logbook to record
the titles of the books they read this summer and "bug coupons" on which to
write the child's name and book title for each completed book. These will be displayed around the library
for all to see! Bring in the reading log when you check out books and the
librarians will stamp the completed titles in the logbook.
